15 Monica Geller Outfits For Your Wardrobe To Tap Into 90s Nostalgia

We’re going to start very easy. It’s a look for the days you don’t want to spend an hour thinking about what you’re going to wear, and throw the first, most comfortable thing you see for work. Boots, comfy jeans, and a snug cardigan — you can’t ever go wrong with these, plus it looks on point every time. 

If it were up to us, we’d wear our hoodie everywhere (we still do). Work, mall, brunch — hoodies (and oversized t-shirts in summer) are as comfortable as it gets and we’re in our ‘comfortcore’ era. Even if you don’t agree with our reasoning you know there’s hardly anything cooler than streetwear at the moment. It’s having its moment and the fashion industry is embracing it with open arms. Hence, we love this look! We're recreating it with a blue hoodie from a luxe homegrown brand called Kilogram by Crepdog Crew, a white jogger by Beverly Hills Polo Club, and New Balance sneakers. 

Pro-tip: Hoodie outfits inspired by K-pop icons. 

This Monica look is pretty cute! Don’t let the cold winds stop you from slaying. Skirts are a pretty good way to style sweaters and level up winter clothing! Here, we’ve picked a black A-line denim midi skirt, instead of the original corduroy one and paired with a cute black and white cardigan knitted from Cider. Stockings and heeled boots will go well with the entire look. 

We might have said this before and we will say it again, styling skirts is fun, especially in the winter! That is, when you’re not hiding under 10 layers of jackets. In this look, Monica is rocking the monochrome trend before it even became a thing. If you want to feed two birds with one corn and recreate Monica Geller looks while also nailing the monochrome trend, this recommendation is for you. We’ve just elevated the velvet/corduroy skirt Monica is wearing with a Steve Madden faux leather one, and a shimmery bodysuit, so that its perfect for casual dinner dates. 

Pro tip: Monochrome trend inspired by Bollywood actors 

On some days, comfort dressing is the vibe. Whether you’re going to stroll through the mall or on a picnic date with your best friends, or even a low-key Friday in the office, sometimes we don’t want to put in the effort. But that doesn’t mean that we will completely give up, instead, we will just be like Mark Zuckerberg out on a stroll. Or Monica Geller in this look. It doesn’t get more comfy-chic than Uniqlo’s waffle pants, something that we wish we could wear everyday. Pair that again with Uniqlo’s T-shirt and a quirky denim jacket by The Souled Store to complete the look. 

This noodle strapped floral bodycon dress is a Monica Geller staple. Throughout the series she rocked several thin strapped outfits, this being one of them. A great choice for a day out with the girls (hint: cocktails and brunch), it’s a no-brainer, easy-breezy dress that does the job well! This H&M black dress looks exactly the same, so go ahead, be the Monica Geller to your Rachel and Phoebe. 

An important 90s clubbing outfit, sleeveless shimmery top and coloured flared pants, you can recreate this Monica Geller look if you're looking to channel this look (which is also a huge trend this year). The fashion of the 90s is never going out of style and gen z are all for bringing the good things back from the past. After all, shaking a leg is much easier wearing pants than a tight fitted dress, eh?

This thin strapped red dress that Monica wore to Ross and Emily's wedding is a must include because it reflects an important inflection point in Monica and Chandler's storyline and Monica's character arc. Even though the dress is simple in itself, being in a bright colour like red and in a soft fabric like silk or satin makes it special enough to be adorned on any special occasion in your life. We've found a very similar dress by a Nykaa Fashion hidden gem, IT Girl. Pair it with a charm necklace and a messy bun to complete your recreation of this Monica Geller look! 

Adding a pop of red is the easiest way to make your everyday wardrobe special! Winter is the time of cheer, festivities and Christmas! No amount of red in your closet can be enough, and Monica Geller's simple red sweater with a jacket is a great way to dress up for secret Santa. And we've managed to find a super cute and offbeat turtleneck by Nicobar that's dressing up like Monica Geller but better, and paired it with a Forever New straight leg pant. 

When the weather's about to get cold but not there yet, when summers are just waning and winter is just slowly tiptoeing towards us, the one leg out of your blanket kinda weather as we all know is the perfect time to wear this pretty outfit. This beige floral dress paired with a cream sweater makes for an easy brunch outfit, or even a something you can wear to work if you want to tap into your feminine and girlcore energy. 

Welcome to winter! It sucks,  you are gonna love it- love it more in this cardigan look that Monica sported in season 1. Pair it with these comfy rayon black trousers and warm boots. 

Want an elevation? Pick an embroidered cardigan, like this floral one from Savana (that fits perfectly as a winter transition) and layer it over a solid tank top. 

All through her job as a chef, we have seen Monica sport the occasional chef hat and all white ensemble. But her corporate fits are the real hero here. In one episode, Monica is seen layering her all black outfit with a complementing trench coat and stockings. We believe this Magre black wrap jumpsuit would do justice to copying this look with some help from an embellished trench coat and black boots. You can also add in pantyhose stockings and this sterling star necklace from Giva for some pretty accessorising. 

Be it childhood Monica or glowed up Monica — one thing the character did was deliver looks worth copying. 

Also, let’s be honest; bed rotting during winter is a stress buster. What better outfit to do it in than Monica’s oversized sweatshirt plus trouser combo? Pick your comfort sweatshirt (our pick is this maroon oversized one by Twenty Dresses), wear on a pair of lousy tracks and break the monotony from pajamas. 

Add in a pair of sliders for that extra degree of comfort. May or may not cheer your mood but will definitely make a style statement! 

A scarf is a fall accessory that adds to any outfit. While the Richard breakup was hard on Monica, we know her style game did not slip. In the scene where she meets Richard after a prolonged period of no-contact, we can see her sport an all black ensemble of a black coat and tracks, reflective of her dire mood. But what adds the pizzazz is the cream coloured patterned scarf that elevates her post-breakup look.

We are fans of this look and if you are too, here’s how you can replicate it. While picking scarves, make sure you pick patterns that complement the colour of your fit and don’t wash out your complexion. And don’t worry about being a minimalist on this one, you can go all out with the designs on your scarves, like this gorgeous one from Janavi and reflect your mood. You can also match your boots to your scarves for that uniform pop of colour. 

Winter is here but not here yet? The weather that is both too hot for a jacket and too cold for a crop top? Yeah, that is the kind of indecisive climate that suits this bomb of an outfit that combines both summer and winter elements. 

We absolutely love this ensemble that Monica sported for her engagement announcement picture. Inspired and want something similar? All you need is a plain red dress or any other colour you really like — we are talking about that one dress you did not know you had or that dress you simply wear all the time but now want it styled differently. We got our hands on this flare dress by Sonal Jain that has a cut out back (for when you decide to go sweater free). 

Pair your dress with a pullover of a complementing colour or design. This maroon pullover by NEWME ASIA does the job so well. And we love how easy this ensemble is, to pair with your choice of high knee boots and a cute little bag!
